We got an olc question today about problems with console error
messages, and I think that there is a problem with either the software
configuration or the video card with the machine (Hayden-8). Could you
take a look at it? I've attached the olc conversation.

Question:
I logged in and there were two messagesin the 'Console' window as following:
11:30 mwm: Invalid accelerator specification on line 7 of specification string
11:30 mwm: Invalid accelerator specification on line 20 of configuration file "/usr/athena/lib/X11/system.mwmrc"
And the arrow keys and pgUp,pgDn etc., didn't work. How to correct it?
Thank you.

You asked about some error messages which are appearing in your
console window when you log in. Does this happen on any machine, or
just one? If it's just happening on one machine, then it's probably a
problem with that particular machine, and we'd like to know which
machine, so someone can go look at it. If it's happening on every
machine, then there's probably something wrong with your mwm
configuration, and we can look at that.

I changed to another machine and it is ok. The one with the problem is Hayden-8 18.51.1.38. Thank you.
